      Hi,

      I run a lot of servers behind a pfsense firewall.
      On the servers a lot of ip adresses gets banned by a server based firewall.
      It ban users after trying to brute force some services as smtp, pop, ssh, rdp etc.

      The banned ip's are written into a txt file.
      How can I ban these ip's on pfsense level (preferable automated)

      Any suggestions are more then welcome!
      Thx

          pfblock (the previous tool) had a feature to download a txt from url but the new tool I can't seem to find it.

            In the IPv4/6 tabs, enter the localfile in the URL field. Same as with the original version. It will download once per hour currently but I will be adding a feature to increase the frequency setting.
